ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Cook County Building Dept

To those in the Chicago area, I have a customer in Cook County. I haven't worked there before and would appreciate if you would e-mail me with their number and any special requirements, registration, bond, etc.. My Lic. is City of Woodstock (McH. Co.).

Thanks,
Dave

What village or is it unincorporated?

Here is a link to a large list if village information in upper illinois.
http://www.lmccdupage.org/electric.htm

It has testing, bonding, code cycle, inspector name, address, phone, fax, web site, & email.

Some info may be out dated. I seen Elgin & Gurnee are wrong. Did not look at them all.

For amendments I like to look on the village web site first. For working requirements best just calling.

Tom

Thanks Tom. It has an Elgin address, but it's unincorporated Cook County.

Hey Dave,

See page 2 for requirements on permit application below: http://www.cookcountygov.com/Agencies/cc_building_permit.pdf

Looks like a road trip to the county building in Daily Town. Hope you have everything you need the first time. Good luck.

Tom

I think the line "does not include permit" is looking especially good on the contract proposal now.
